Welcoming Of Godly Values

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”  Psalm 111:10

As I reflect on the past month, in spite of the “pause” God allowed in the Curriculum production (due to Ruth being out of the country), God has encouraged me! Here’s a few ways:

·         I had the opportunity to share the program/curriculum with several Christian Educators here in Uganda during the past weeks and each time witnessed their enthusiasm.

·         God also allowed me to travel with Uganda co-worker, Beth, to Nairobi to be introduced to Scripture Union (SU) Kenya and explore Nairobi printing costs. While there we had opportunity to present to the SU staff the program of teaching godly Values that we are starting here in Uganda. I could feel the rising excitement of the four staff members Beth and I presented to. Time will tell how the Lord will open the doors for Values to be part of the ministry of SU Kenya.

·         While running to appointments with Printers in Nairobi, we also met the founder of WordAlive Publishers and were blessed by this brother who God has led to produce a Bible especially for students. He generously offered to share with us his printing contacts, even those in India.

·         Friday, I was blessed to receive an e-mail reply from a major U.S. Christian publisher giving us permission to incorporate a story of theirs, with art work, into our Curriculum.

·         Yesterday Beth revisited a Primary School to distribute Bibles to those desiring one. When she asked if they had any questions, one asked her, “when are you coming back?” 

·         Next week, Beth will revisit South Sudan and take with her, Lord willing, 10 sets of Values Curriculum. The reason: the Ministry of Education has given permission for SU to teach Values in the Primary and Secondary Schools of Juba, the capital.

We wait upon God for His plan and pray for laborers for the great harvest.
